THE proposed empowerment of the caretaker government through amendments to the Elections Act, 2017, shared with parliamentarians during a joint sitting, weeks before the incumbent assembly completes its constitutional tenure, has raised questions about the conduct of elections within the constitutionally-stipulated time period.
This empowerment, although having a governance merit, does not augur well in a country where democracy continues to tiptoe a path strewn with uncertainties and shadowed by distrust of political actors in the willingness of the state to fully submit to the will of the people, as enunciated in the Constitution.
Expert on election-related issues, Muddassir Rizvi explains whether the amendments affect the incumbent government's commitment to timely elections.
